Product Description
Transform your first‑generation Audi Q5, SQ5 or RS Q5 (2009‑2017, chassis codes 8R / 8R.5 / B8 / B8.5) with a premium carbon fiber accent – our genuine dry carbon mirror caps. Unlike cheap stick‑on ABS covers that look fake and eventually fall off, these caps are real prepreg dry carbon – autoclave‑cured, CNC‑trimmed, and finished with a double‑layer UV‑resistant clear coat. The result is a brilliant 2x2 twill weave that perfectly matches the sporty character of your Audi SUV.
Why choose real carbon over plastic imitations?
Real carbon doesn’t fade, yellow, or warp under the sun. It’s stronger, lighter, and truly elevates the look of your Q5, SQ5 or RS Q5. Our caps directly replace the original mirror housings – no tape, no drilling, no bulky “shells”. Just a perfect OEM‑plus fit.
We engineered these caps using 3D scanning of original 8R (pre‑facelift, 2009‑2012) and 8R.5 / B8.5 (facelift, 2013‑2017) mirror housings. Important: The mirror cap shape and clip design are identical across all 2009‑2017 Q5, SQ5, and RS Q5 models (pre‑facelift and facelift). One product fits the entire generation. Whether you drive a 2010 Q5, a 2014 SQ5, or a rare RS Q5, this 5‑minute upgrade delivers instant visual impact and lasting durability.

5 Key Features
1. Genuine Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Construction
Made from high‑grade prepreg carbon fiber with a consistent 2x2 twill weave. Autoclave‑cured and CNC‑trimmed for perfect edges. No fiberglass backing, no hydro‑dipping – this is the real material used by supercar manufacturers. Each cap weighs approximately 55g (OEM plastic is ~85g), reducing unsprung weight while providing superior rigidity.
2. OEM‑Grade Precision Fitment for 8R / 8R.5 / B8 / B8.5 (2009‑2017)
We scanned original pre‑facelift (2009‑2012) and facelift (2013‑2017) Q5 mirror housings to create CAD‑perfect molds. The caps snap directly onto your factory mirror base using the original clips – no modifications, no adhesives. Every set is test‑fitted on a genuine mirror jig before packing. Lane assist versions include an exact cutout for the blind‑spot camera or sensor window. Note: Fits both pre‑facelift (8R / B8) and facelift (8R.5 / B8.5) models – the mirror cap design is identical across all 2009‑2017 Q5 / SQ5 / RS Q5.
3. UV‑Resistant High‑Gloss Clear Coat (No Yellowing)
Sun exposure is the #1 killer of aftermarket carbon parts. Our caps are coated with a double‑layer automotive‑grade clear coat that blocks UV rays, preventing the yellowing, fading, or micro‑cracking that plagues cheap alternatives. The high‑gloss finish remains showroom‑bright even after years of sun, rain, and road salt. A matte finish option is also available for a stealthy, OEM‑plus look.
4. Lightweight & Aerodynamic Benefit
Reducing rotational and unsprung mass – even by a few grams – contributes to sharper steering response and reduced wind noise. The smooth carbon surface also reduces turbulence around the side mirrors, slightly improving high‑speed stability. Every gram saved adds to the premium driving experience of your Q5 or SQ5.
5. Plug‑and‑Play Installation – 5 Minute DIY
No special tools, no drilling, no permanent modifications. Simply use a plastic trim tool (or your fingers) to gently pry the original mirror cap from the bottom edge, release the clips, and pop it off. Then align our carbon cap with the factory mounting points and press firmly until you hear the clicks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will these fit my 2015 Audi SQ5 (facelift)?
A: Yes, all 2009‑2017 Q5, SQ5, and RS Q5 (8R / 8R.5 / B8 / B8.5) share the same mirror cap shape. Pre‑facelift and facelift are identical for mirror caps.
Q2: Will they fit a 2011 Audi Q5 (pre‑facelift)?
A: Yes. Our caps fit both pre‑facelift (2009‑2012) and facelift (2013‑2017) models without issue.
Q3: Are these real carbon fiber or fake plastic?
A: Real. Genuine prepreg dry carbon with 2x2 twill weave, autoclave cured. No ABS, no hydro‑dipping, no “carbon look”. Forged carbon and matte finishes are also available.
Q4: How do I know if my Q5 has lane change assist (blind‑spot)?
A: Look at your existing mirror cap. If there is a small oval or rectangular cutout on the outer edge (facing the rear of the car) or a transparent window, you have lane assist. If the cap is solid with no cutout, select “Without Lane Assist”. Email us a photo if unsure.
Q5: Will these interfere with the folding mirrors or side assist?
A: No, our caps are designed to OEM dimensions. Folding motors operate normally, and side assist (lane change warning) works perfectly as long as you select the correct version with cutout.
Q6: Do you offer matte carbon?
A: Yes. Matte dry carbon is available as a made‑to‑order option (lead time 7‑12 days). Select “Matte Dry Carbon” from the variant dropdown.
